Hebron - The Cave of Machpela - a Video Clip

This week's Parsha - Chayei Sarah - teaches us about the burial plot that Abraham purchased from Ephron for 400 coins of silver - the Cave of Machpela. The Cave is to serve as the burial place for not only Sarah - for whom it is purchased, but also for Abraham, Isaac & Rebecca, Jacob & Leah - and even for the first man and woman - Adam and Eve (Chava.) It is said to be the entrance way to the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden.)

Hebron is one of the four holy cities of the Land of Israel. It's a special time of year to connect with this holy place, learn something about our Forefathers and Foremothers. Enjoy this wonderful video clip featured on chabad.org. If you feel connected with this beautiful holy city and looking for a unique gift for yourself or for family and friends, purchase a set of four beautiful Torah/Land of Israel fridge magnets with verses of Torah on them, to remind you of these beautiful stories and this beautiful land always. You can find out even more about the Cave itself, with pictures, and stories, by visiting Machpela.com.
